A Legacy to Protect (JJBA x MHA)

Chapter 10: Cavalry

"Izuku!"

The green bean turned, judging from his face, he was clearly panicking. Izuku's expression turned to one of relief. "JoJo! Are you sure? I'll probably just bring you down." Johnny slapped the back of Izuku's head. "Ow!"

" You're not going to bring me down dumbass. I am perfectly happy supporting you. "

"I don't deserve a friend like you."

"Shut it. If you didn't, I wouldn't be here."

"Deku, JoJo!"

The two childhood friends turned to see Uraraka running up to them with her usual bubbly personality. "Can I join you guys?"

"Are you sure, Uraraka? Me and JoJo have pretty big targets on our backs."

"Yeah, I think it's better to team up with people you like!" Izuku made a weird face, and Johnny was a bit concerned for his health, but then he realized that Izuku was just trying to hold back tears. "Iida, Jiro, you guys in?" Johnny questioned.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid Todoroki isn't the only one who sees you guys as rivals. I will be competing against you." Iida respectfully declined.

"You're the one always telling me to believe in myself, JoJo. As much as I would love to team up again...I want to try my luck against you...again..." Jiro said, almost shamefully.

Johnny smiled. "That's perfectly fine. Just don't expect us to go easy on you two!"

Iida and Jiro both nodded and went to join their respective teams. Johnny wasn't upset in the slightest, mostly due to Jiro. She was giving it another shot, and honestly...some small part of him was hoping that she would beat him. That's when a certain bird boy went up to them.

"Hello, I couldn't help but notice the three of you were lacking teammates, I was wondering if I could join?" Tokoyami asked.

"Sure, but why?" Izuku asked in return.

Tokoyami nodded in Johnny's direction. " JoJo and I have worked well together in the past. Having him on my team would be my best bet for continuing in the competition. "

Johnny smirked. "It's true, we DID make a pretty good team...I guess it's settled then!"

The team of four quickly assembled themselves, after respectfully turning down this weird pink haired girl who wanted to put her babies on them. (Johnny didn't want to ask). Izuku was in top, being the guy with the million, Uraraka and Johnny were on the sides, and Tokoyami was in the front. Johnny surveyed the competition, and saw that Iida had joined Todoroki's team, in fact...the entire team was stacked with powerful quirks. Yaoyorozu and Kaminari were on his team too, and that might prove to be difficult.

"BEGIN!" Midnight's voice thundered through the stadium as all of the teams began scrambling around. Team Izuku immediately ran away, intending to keep their opponents at bay, and protect their headband. Suddenly, Johnny felt as though he was trudging through mud. "We're stuck!" Uraraka cried, as the team began to sink into the ground. "There! It's that guy's quirk!" Izuku pointed to the front runner of a team of class 1B students, which happened to be gaining on them. "Tokoyami! Can Dark Shadow pull us out?" Johnny asked. "Yes, but I doubt it could before they get to us."

Johnny racked his brain for ideas, when a lightbulb went off. Izuku glanced down, saw the sly grin on his friend's face, and instantly knew Johnny had something up his sleeve. "JoJo...I know that face...that's your crazy idea face." Johnny winked at Izuku, causing a nervous head of sweat to go down the side of his friend's face. "Uraraka...you think you could make our rider float?"

"W-what?" The gravity quirk user asked in confusion .

"Just do it...trust me." Johnny said calmly, despite the many teams rushing to grab their headband. "O-okay" Uraraka touched Izuku's leg, despite the One For All user's protests, and Izuku flew up into the air, only to be stopped by something wrapped around his leg. Izuku looked down and saw a golden thread attached to his leg. Johnny was holding onto it, Hamon flowing through his body, and a part of his gym jacket was shredded. Izuku then understood.
